Landolt Scalpel Handle

**Product Overview**

The Landolt Scalpel Handle is a reusable surgical instrument that holds a detachable surgical blade, giving the surgeon a stable and controllable grip for making precise incisions in soft tissue. Detachable blades are mounted on the handle and exchanged as the procedure requires, while the handle itself is retained and reprocessed for repeated use.

This family is supplied in the Landolt pattern. The pattern name identifies a specific handle configuration within the scalpel-handle range and is the primary way procurement teams distinguish it from other handles in the catalog.

Within the Aesculap catalog the Landolt Scalpel Handle sits in the Scalpels & Handles chapter, under the Scalpel Handles group. As a reusable instrument, the handle is designed to be cleaned, disinfected and steam-sterilized between uses in line with the manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions.

**Design Characteristics**

The handle is produced to a micro specification, giving a lighter, finer instrument suited to delicate and precise work. Across the configurations the range incorporates the Landolt pattern, a micro (fine-work) grind, a round handle and a bayonet-shaped shaft that keeps the surgeon’s hand clear of the line of sight. Working lengths recorded for this family span from 210 mm to 250 mm, with each configuration listed against its article. No material, coating or certification is stated for this family in the source catalog, so none is claimed here; only the characteristics printed in the catalog are described.

**Configuration Options**

The Landolt Scalpel Handle family is offered as 2 distinct configurations, selectable by the configuration axis:
• 210 mm, square shank — article BB053R
• 250 mm, round handle — article BB057R
Each configuration is a separately orderable article; refer to the individual variation for its exact printed specification.

**Applications**

This instrument supports the following uses, derived from its printed design: holding and controlling a detachable blade for making incisions in soft tissue during open surgery; fine, delicate dissection and precise incisions where a lightweight handle aids control; work in deep or narrow fields where a bayonet shaft keeps the hand clear of the line of sight. Applications beyond those supported by the catalog data are not listed.

**Blade Handling & Safety**

Surgical blades are supplied separately as single-use items and are not included with the handle unless otherwise stated. To reduce the risk of injury, blades should be attached to and detached from the handle using a dedicated blade remover or a suitable instrument such as a needle holder rather than by hand, and every used blade should be discarded into an approved sharps container immediately after removal. Matching the blade series to the handle’s blade-mount size ensures a secure fit during use.

**Reprocessing & Handling**

The handle is a reusable instrument supplied non-sterile. It is intended to be cleaned, disinfected and steam-sterilized before each use following validated hospital reprocessing procedures and the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Detachable blades are single-use and are replaced between procedures.
